The former Paris Saint Germain player has been a leading figure in the Wanderers team over the past two seasons and says that European Qualifaction is not a factor when deciding on his future.
"I have been here now for two years and not played in any European competition but have been happy, It was my aim to take Bolton into Europe but unfortunately we didn't make it. But my decision won't rely on that." Okocha said
The Nigerian international says that Wanderers must now focus on their domestic programme and do their upmost to finish as high as possible in the Premiership table perhaps even having an outside chance to qualify for Europe in one of the remaining European places in the league.
"I hope we can continue our good form in the Premiership and grab a UEFA Cup place that way. We have to pick ourselves up. We still have a good chance of finishing well up in the Premiership table and that’s our target."
Okocha 30, also said that he would like to hold more talks with chairman Phil Gartside this week regarding his future at the club. The 30-year old has still to pen a new deal at the Reebok Stadium and says that the matter at the moment is out of his hands.
"It is not in my hands. I have to wait for the right offer and I’d like talks with the chairman this week if possible."
